INDIAN ROYALTY.
How the Average Oriental Potentats
Passes Ills Useless Life.

~ S"p
Passes Ills Useless Life.
1t has been my good fortune to have
eeen several of these gentlemen, both
in tho splendor of Durbar and in
private. In public they are imposing.
Their gorgeous dress, their diamonds
and their precious stones heaped in the
most negligent profusion upon their
persons, make them most striking and
impressive figures. Diamonds stud
their sword-hilts; they wear diamond
Wristbands, diamond aigrettes.
diamond necklaces, diamond sprinkled
shoes. Indeed. an Indian King in his
full rcgalia is the King Of the childish
Imagination. But divest an Indian
King Of his ornamental and seek him
in the privacy Of his own apartments
and you will find a meager man with a
little white cloth about his loirs, liber.
ally smeared with grease, and obse-
quiously waited upon by women whose
beautifully but scantily draped figures
are for grace Of motion unequaled in
the world. Singular as it may appear
that women, whose whole
life is but an immoral
slavery, should exercise so power
full an influence over these men, it is
from the harem that emanates most OF
the mischief done in India. Squatted
upon q pile Of luxurious carpets, with
his long hukah tube in his mouth, much
bejeweled and diamond crusted, with
women playing with his hair or tickling
his royal feet. serving him with sweet
sherbets and sing to him lasciyious
songs, accompanied with tho dance,
surrounded with gossip and fattery.
this scion of former powerful rulers
passes the MONDAY heats in the under
ground apartments.
OF these Kings there are several, but
the most important Of them are in
cluded in the following category: The
M%aharajah Of Travancore. the most
southern in all India; the Maharajah OF
Mysore; the Gulcowar, of Baroda; the
Nizam of Haidcrabad; the Maharaj his
of Jeypore, Jondpore, Gwallor,
Scindiah, Odeypore, which is
ruled by a woman, whose title is
Maharana; Ulwur, Rama of Dholepore.
Punnab, Bogelcund and Bhopal. Be-
sides these principal chieftains there
are several Sirdars, Rajahs and
Nawabs who rule more or less terri
tory, with inhabitants numbering from
1, 900, 900 and upward. The question
of the loyalty to Great Britain Of these
Indian allies, as they are facetiously
termed, has often been called into
question. But it is a remarkable fact
that the only potentate whose army
would have been useful in the field
never volunteered his services in the
two late Afghan wars. while the minor
Rajahs and Ranas very literally sent
in proffers of assistance. When the
great Maharaiah Of Gwalior was asked
why he had not showed a more COM
mendable spirit he %gloomily answered
that he did his share toward maintain
ing the glory Of the Indian Empire.
and that was in supporting in grandeur
a useless political agent.-Cor. San
